TIME-LIFE World War II: 1945: The Final Victories

Wanted my Children to read about the War in English of what I experienced as a Child. I was directly affected by some of the articles in this book as a 6 year old child. It brought back not so pleasant memories. I would like to have the book prior to the final victory, there were a Time Life Program on TV several years ago but was unable to record the whole Series. These books should be in all schools for students to learn how to survive in such an environment that we may be facing with someday.Thank you

I decided this book about WWII would teach a fellow co-worker of mine what the end of the war would have been like, so I made it a Christmas gift.

The perfect gift for my husband who is studying World War 11 right now.

Nice pictures; not that well written

My husband reads a little of it every day says it is very interesting

well done with excellent pictures

Arrived undamaged and product was "as advertised."
